I've been interested in Maemo devices since about mid-2005, and
bought a 770 the day the went on sale. Since then, I've been
increasingly involved in the community - both on
InternetTabletTalk and, increasingly, maemo.org.
I believe Nokia have yet to fully tap into the community that
exists, and the community needs to help Nokia grow membership
and activity within the Maemo ecosystem.
I want to push for Nokia to do more and more Maemo development
in the open, with them *truly* having to justify why a
component is closed. I want to have the community contribute
more directly to the development process, whether in roadmapping;
specification writing/review or testing of pre-released products.
The maemo.org community is growing: we need to ensure it keeps
growing. I'm pleased to see that, already, some of the points I
raised in "maemo.org: what next?"[1] are coming about. I want
to see the Council pushing this agenda to increase the level of
dialogue happening at the Maemo *strategic* level between Nokia
- as its corporate sponsor - and the maemo.org community - as the
passionate, experienced, but currently undirected, community that
it is.
